I got it for Maggie and I'm now on the verge of finding whoever created it and destroying them :crazy:

Most. Annoying. Toy. Ever.

2. Ours isn't the SS version, but we have another one.
My soon to be 3 year old's Nana is on toy probation for that one. "Beep! Beep! Out of the way!"

I would like to throttle whoever came up with these.

4. Yeah well, I have nobody but myself to blame for this one
She's into the whole pretend driving thing now and I thought it would be fun for her. She DOES enjoy it, so I guess I'll have to resist the urge to smash it into smithereens for awhile, at least until she gets bored with it!

10. I am well, thank you
:)

Living in Western MA most of the time, dealing with family, but I'm in Quincy for a bit. Got a spinning wheel about a week ago, and have been spinning yarn like a fiend! :D

An awesome DUer gave me her wheel. I'm a lucky girl.

Still cooking, making pizza sauce and pizza tonight.

Oh, and I'm graduating on the 29th! :woohoo:

She's on a permanent ventilator in a rehab hospital at the moment. Not really sure where we're going from here though.

12. I would have guessed Bert would be in charge of flipping off other drivers.
Not just honking the horn.

14. Bert doesn't have the stugats to flip people off. He wants too, but he's too weak.

16. Ha! you must not have gotten a "Madagascar" Happy Meal toy with the penguins
we have TWO of those things in Josie's collection of toys and from time to time the basket or the fake shopping car that one of them is buried in gets bumped and we hear "Smile and wave boys!" or "PROGRESS REPORT!!"

I could find it and turn it off but I actually think it is funny.

17. Oh my god! I would love those.
We have Alex and Gloria from the first go around. The Gloria one is awesome "Alrighty boys! Let's go! I know that's right!"

I remember way back when (BK - before kids) I used to talk to people about real live things and issues, but now it's pretty much all toys and potty progress all the time. I'm waiting for a Cars trivia contest to spring up somewhere. I will totally rock that thing!

Society thrift store.
